Snort

Compare

  Analyzed 1 day ago

Snort is a lightweight network intrusion detection system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks. It can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth ... [More] port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more. Snort uses a flexible rule based language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass, and a modular detection engine. Snort has a real-time alerting capability, with alert mechanisms for syslog, a user specified file, a UNIX socket, or WinPopup messages to Windows clients using Samba's smbclient. [Less]

ettercap

Compare

  Analyzed about 21 hours ago

Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet LANs. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones, like SSH and HTTPS). Data injection in an established connection and filtering on the fly is also possible, keeping the connection synchronized. Many ... [More] sniffing modes were implemented to give you a powerful and complete sniffing suite. Plugins are supported. It has the ability to check whether you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN. [Less]

netsniff-ng

Compare

  Analyzed about 8 hours ago

netsniff-ng is is a free, performant Linux network analyzer and networking toolkit. The gain of performance is reached by zero-copy mechanisms, so that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace and vice versa. netsniff-ng consists of much more than only a network ... [More] analyzer. Next to the zero-copy sniffer itself, further tools like trafgen, a powerful zero-copy network packet generator, or ifpps, a tool that provides top-like kernel networking statistics, and curvetun, a lightweight curve25519-based multiuser IP tunnel, are being shipped.

Derrick

Compare

  Analyzed about 15 hours ago

Derrick is a simple tool for recording data streams of TCP and UDP traffic. It shares similarities with other network recorders, such as tcpflow and wireshark, where it is more advanced than the first and clearly inferior to the latter. Derrick has been specifically designed to monitor ... [More] application-layer communication. In contrast to other tools the application data is logged in a line-based ASCII format. Common UNIX tools, such as grep, sed & awk, can be directly applied. Even replay of recorded communication is straight forward using netcat. Derrick supports on-the-fly compression and rotation of log files. The payloads of TCP sessions are re-assembled using Libnids and can be merged or truncated. UDP payloads are logged as-is. Details of lower network layers are omitted. [Less]

junkie

Compare

  No analysis available

Meet Junkie the network sniffer! As the heart of SecurActive network performance monitoring application lies a real-time packet sniffer and analyzer. Modular enough to accomplish many different tasks, we believe this tool can be a helpful companion to the modern network administrator and ... [More] analyst, and so we decided to offer it to the public under a liberal license so that the Open Source community can use it, play with it, and extend it with whatever feature is deemed appropriate. Compared to previously available tools junkie lies in between tcpdump and wireshark. Unlike tcpdump, its purpose is to parse protocols of any depth; unlike wireshark, through, junkie is designed to analyze traffic in real-time and so cannot parse traffic as completely as wireshark does.

  Analyzed 1 day ago

What is dabba? dabba is a set of network tools written for Linux. Its main use is to gather or scatter actions on a network such as traffic capture, replay, generation or monitoring on a network. This is inspired on the Dabba Walla system present in Mumbai where meals are regrouped and ... [More] dispatched throughout the city with a high efficiency rate, every day of the year. The project has 4 main components: - libdabba - low-level zero-copy network library - libdabba-rpc - protobuf-based rpc library for dabbad and dabba - dabbad - multi-threaded task manager and IPC query processor - dabba - CLI 'à la git' to communicate with dabbad and submit tasks [Less]
